Hello, my name is Alex.

0:00:060:00:09

I've just put a cake in the oven ready to enjoy as a treat tomorrow.

0:00:090:00:14

While it's baking, there's just enough time for a bedtime story.

0:00:140:00:18

It's about someone else who's been doing some cooking.

0:00:180:00:22

Would you like to hear it?

0:00:220:00:24

Great.

0:00:240:00:26

The story is called Recipe For A Story and it's by Ella Burfoot.

0:00:260:00:31

I am going to cook a book.

0:00:310:00:35

I'll break some thoughts into cup.

0:00:350:00:37

I'll beat them, whisk them, mix them up.

0:00:370:00:40

I'll weigh out the words - just enough -

0:00:410:00:44

choosing the right ones can be tough.

0:00:440:00:47

The small ones go into the pot.

0:00:480:00:51

He, she, it, when and what.

0:00:510:00:55

I'll drop some big words from a height.

0:00:560:00:59

Elephant, crocodile, dynamite!

0:00:590:01:03

Now that my story has begun, I'll cut out characters one by one.

0:01:040:01:10

Feelings, colours, sounds, a picture,

0:01:100:01:13

all add flavour to my mixture.

0:01:130:01:17

I'll add a watery word or two.

0:01:170:01:20

I'll pour them in and stir them through.

0:01:200:01:23

Splish, splosh, splash. Drip or sprinkle.

0:01:230:01:27

Glug and gurgle. Squelch and tinkle.

0:01:270:01:31

Now, I'll put a lid on it, wait a while, let it sit.

0:01:310:01:36

It's not until I roll it out that I'll find out what it's all about.

0:01:360:01:41

And now I'll lay it in the tin, so my characters can jump in.

0:01:410:01:46

Next - the middle, the action, the filling -

0:01:460:01:50

into the pan without any spilling.

0:01:500:01:53

Now, all I'll do is simply add a spoon of good

0:01:530:01:58

and a pinch of bad.

0:01:580:02:01

Turn up the heat, let the bubbles quicken

0:02:010:02:04

and then my plot begins to thicken.

0:02:040:02:08

Every sentence will taste much better if I add a full stop

0:02:080:02:12

and a capital letter.

0:02:120:02:15

But where did I put them?

0:02:150:02:17

I've seen them myself, here they are in the cupboard on the top shelf.

0:02:170:02:22

Lastly, the ending. I'll press it down and add decoration all around.

0:02:230:02:30

I will glaze with happiness, leave it to cook,

0:02:300:02:34

then bake it, brown it and finish my book.

0:02:340:02:37

I turn the pages and I can tell that my recipe has turned out well.

0:02:380:02:44

I've done everything that I need to make my story a delicious read.

0:02:440:02:50

That was Recipe For A Story. I hope you enjoyed it.

0:02:510:02:56

Now that you've found out how to make a story,

0:02:560:02:59

it's time to you to go to bed.

0:02:590:03:02

I hope you cook up some sweet dreams!

0:03:020:03:05

Sleep tight. I'll see you again soon.
